Quite new to foraging, how come these mushrooms grow in a circle?

    You should stand in the middle of it and see where it takes you.

    But, they are Fariy Rings, so don’t be surprised if wherever they take you gets you into some fucked up situations.

    Them Fae folk like messing with humans, in some of the most gruesome ways.

    We call it a witch circle… legend has that when schrooms grow like that a witch danced that night at the center.

    I’m no expert but these are called Fairy Circles iirc. Apparently whatever substrate they grow on is consumed, so they expand in a circular fashion- think of burning a paper starting from a point in its center.
